  • Patent number: 11774117
    Abstract: A system and related method are disclosed for controlling condensation in a space. The system includes a fan and one or more sensors for sensing environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity associated with the space and/or objects within the space. For instance, the sensors may sense a surface temperature of an object within the room. The system also includes a controller capable of receiving measurements from the sensor(s) and controlling the fan based on the sensed information. The system may additionally include a heater and/or a damper for transferring outside air into the space, either of which may be controlled by the controller based on the measurements.

  • Patent number: 11175081
    Abstract: A system for controlling the circulation of air in an indoor area of a structure including a door or window. A fan for circulating the air within the indoor area is combined with a first sensor for sensing a temperature of a surface of an object in the indoor area. A controller controls the operation of the fan based on the surface temperature sensed by the first sensor, and also regulates a radiant heater for heating the surface or the object. The controller may also or alternatively be adapted for controlling the fan based on an indication that it is raining external to the structure, an HVAC unit, or a dehumidifier. Related methods are also disclosed.
